bluerooster Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 The hood on my forge is due for replacement. It's rusting so badly, that it's dropping huge rust flakes on the hearth causing some massive klinker. It was ok until the rain cap blew off. It was a few months till I got the chance to get it fixed. Had to replace the lower 5 foot section of flue pipe as well. That was a couple of months ago. Now the whole thing needs to be replaced. I'll be going with a side draft this time. Instead of the barrel that I have now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Definitely look into a Super Sucker. I made mine from a party balloon helium tank, and it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluerooster Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Got the barrel off, and my iteration of a "super sucker" built and installed. I guess the barrel has served well for 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
